Perreaux

Is it me, or do they not have a distributor in the UK?

Has anybody tried any of their products, and if so did you source them from Europe or the States, if my above assumption is correct.

Thanks.

 

There's one not far from me in Zürich, Cookie, don't know about the UK. Try their website.

 

I thought connossier (sp?) audio in scotland were distributors. Sorry, dont know their web addy

 

Their website indicates that they have distributers in every corner of the globe, barring the UK . I can't seem to find much else with searches on google. I suppose it would be a case of finding a dealer in Europe/States that would ship? i dunno.

I've had a look - they don't appear to.

cheers

 

I've emailed Perreaux HQ for assistance. But if anyone here has any info Somebody here must have bought Perreaux gear at some point?

cheers

 

Cookie, the French distributor is in Saint-Mandé, to the east of Paris and reachable by the RATP. See:

Thanks Tones.

I could imagine Mrs Cookie liking that piece of information. Bit of Christmas shoe shopping in the French capital.

 

I looked into a Headphone amp and was steered in the direction of the Netherlands distributor.

 

Cheers Jools, that's what i'm looking at . You didn't get one then?

 

Santa may be generous....

 

I'd be interested to know how you get on, and the total costs involved for Santa including shipping on his sleigh.

 

Your not after an SHX-1 headphone amp by any chance are you

 

hehe.

not a humming one though

 

That problem has been sorted. I wish I knew about them before I got the Corda HA-1.... The Corda, for an amp that was so raved about and was said to be so much better than the competition, sounds a LOT worse than the MF amp I just picked up for less than half the price

 

I just got an email from them with a number of product reviews etc I cant get the links to work here but contact them and I'm sure you'll get loads of info if required...

Hi Paul!

welcome to valves!


we'll have you with glowing tubes all over the place yet!

I've just spotted this the Purreux gear is very good, I had a 350w power amp of belonging to these boys good stuff, bomb proof build and adecent sound too, but not small, and the 'fancier' model with those 'big teardrop fronts' in chrome really a sight to behold Wm

 

Hehe, one of the first things I want to do with it is replace the stock tubes actually. Ideally get a better PSU and replace the Caps but I may have to get someone to do that for me, given my appalling ability at DIY.

If I was looking at new speaker amps, i'd cerainly consider a valve amp that has good punchy fast bass if such things exist (probably do, but certainly not cheap I bet )

 

Paul,
valve rolling is good fun, takes time to find the sound you want but IMHO worth it.
I have found a tendency with modern valves to sound maybe a bit more top ended, kinda hard to describe.
I prefer NOS valves, just put some Mullard NOS valves in my Cornet and the change is very nice indeed. Much more full bodied sound but wwonderful detail aswell.
